Don't slip into the traps, and don't forget about your 'hood, the kids in the 'hood. Remember, you're disposable, so take advantage while you can.

Sometimes, we overlook or forget the significance of being a parent. It's a real job. You can't have a kid and forget. Parents are shaping, grooming and molding a human.

You mustn't forget the circumstances I have been brought up in, the little education I have had.
